And then he had other moments. Like when he asked Feldman about her use of blow guns on the horses.

“Did you ingest the horse?” he asked.

“I didn’t ingest the horse,” Feldman replied. “It wouldn’t have been very tasteful. I injected them.”

Eoannou called the veterinarian “ma’am” until the prosecution insisted to the judge that he call her “doctor” or “Dr. Feldman.”

Even that proved a challenge for Eoannou at times, when he returned to his “ma’am” mode.

When Feldman testified she did not see any horse eat manure, Eoannou called her out on that answer, saying she had previously said she had but failed to do a diagnostic exam to confirm that horses were eating manure.

“There is not a diagnostic test that you could do for manure,” Feldman told the attorney. “How would you test what they’re eating, when what they’re going to eat is going to come out their rear end and look the same?”

A split ticket

Whether your favorite won or lost the White House, the presidential outcome could have been more unsettling.

A week ago, the Washington Times’ Inside the Beltway column quoted Canisius College political science professors Michael Haselswerdt, a Democrat, and Kevin Hardwick, a Republican, on the viable chance the two candidates could split the electoral votes, 269-269.

If that had happened, the Republican-led House would have picked the president and the Democrat-led Senate would have decided the vice president.

“That means that Joe Biden would be vice president for the next four years under President Mitt Romney,” Hardwick said.

“We would have the ‘Odd Couple’ on steroids.”

There’s an app for that

A lot of us have heard of Angry Birds, the popular game downloaded onto millions of mobile phones.

Now a new app is out, and criminals in Cheektowaga had best beware.

It is not called Angry Residents or even Alert Residents, though these names would be fitting.
